"I belong to a greater stage"
Is it okay to say:
I believe I belong to a greater stage.
Basically, I want to say that I want to transit from my current position to a better one since I think I am skillful enough for the better opportunity.
I know it's usually belong to, but this to here doesn't seem right.
I think the sentence should be fine from the grammar perspective. But do people normally say this?
Solution 1:
You (rightly) belong on a greater stage.
Solution 2:
I agree with @CarSmack and with @Kris. If you use stage, people move on stages, climb onto stages, perform on stages, move onto bigger stages and belong on a greater stage.
All writing is done for an audience, and the most important thing is to be certain that the person(s) reading the letter will understand what you've written.
If you want to move on to a different stage of your career, then it's to move on to the next stage.
I believe I'm ready to move on to the next stage in/of my career.
If that means you want more responsibility, one might say
I'm ready to take on greater responsibilit(y/ies).
